SHIFT · 250 Haverford Avenue · Narberth PA 19072
Join us for a dyeing adventure during Narberth’s Lebrechaun Hunt, where little artists and color lovers will explore the magic of natural potion making!
Using plants, flowers, and other nature-based ingredients, we’ll unlock the enchanted hues of the rainbow – just like the leprechauns love!
Each participant will get to choose a dye-able item as their canvas: a “Rainbow Twist” Scrunchie or “Magic Mist” Bandana. Participants will then mix, dip, and transform it with natural pigments. Through hands-on experiments, young artists will learn the natural alchemy behind each shade and create a one-of-a-kind lucky charm to take home. Follow the rainbow, and you just might discover a pot of gold hidden in the colors you create!
The $10 fee (per child) will be collected on site and includes:
- guided instruction
- natural dyes
- one item to dye (scrunchie or bandana)
- a “take home” treasure pot
Dye Kits will also be available to purchase.
Registration
Reserve your space in advance to guarantee materials. Each parent/guardian should use one checkout link to reserve space for all children in their group. Dyeable item preferences are collected during checkout and should equal the number of ‘tickets’ being reserved under each name.
Because of the hands-on nature of this event, space is limited. Ages 3-12 are welcome to participate.
